I have been cutting for 6 years...with the longest time of not cutting being 3 months. Everytime I try and stop I get more and more discouraged at myself when i do it again. I know that everyone slips up, but after i slip up once i feel like well i might as well keep doing it. Does anyone else feel this way? It's sort of like if i am going to have to cover up a little cut from one slip up, i might as well cut up my whole arm so it can all heal at once. I want to stop so badly, but i recently started again and i don't even know what to do anymore.

i, too, began cutting after a long period of time off. i feel like a failure for giving in to the need to cut. i even tried to get tattoos when i feel that urge....i have over 9 tats now and 15 piercings...it helps somewhat but, for me that urge is always there. u are not alone.

I also started working on my old wheelbarrow, because the man with the cart put a pending on it, ugh!Tomorrow is my covid test for my procedure/surgery so I have...
